Tucked into the bustling neighborhood of historic fairmount is the rose chapel. Constructed of Tennessee Crab Orchard Stone, the exterior is surrounded by more than 50 varieties of antique roses and perennials. Shirley and Larry "Doc" Brock, pictured here, were married at the chapel on May 3, 1957 and celebrated their golden anniversary in 2007. Since opening in 1955, the chapel has been slated for demolition three times. Thanks to the ongoing efforts of the Southside Preservation Association, this elegant space will be forever cemented in Fort Worth's rich history
